The New Conrad Miller Trio 

Randy Brecker:

“This is a romantic set by the trio…. every track strikes an emotional nerve and every track has a strong groove that’ll capture your heart along with your mind…really liked this!”

{sir} Jan Akkerman:

A total unique style in exploring harmonical technical possibilities in a more Latin as well as a bebop approach. The themes for improvisation sound like common ground, until the trio takes off into in almost separate ways still form a unity in timing and swing. A delight for the heart, ears and soul.”

‘A nice mix of Keith Jarrett, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Vijay Ayer and Brad Mehldau’

Use of South American rhythms and harmonies combined with traditional Jazz as well as blues and soul result in lyrical, impressionistic compositions. Arrangements are both melancholic and at the same time joyful. Classic harmony and counterpoint coupled with high energy, authentic powerful grooves bring a new color and dimension to the traditional Jazz trio.

“The variety of backgrounds of the three musicians in this new acoustic piano trio brings an original blend of styles and moods”

Coen and Enrique played for years with American Jazz vocalist Deborah Carter, David and Coen are still touring with the legendary Jan Akkerman. David’s all time interest in the Rhythms of the world locks in easily with Enrique’s rich world of rhythm.

The chance to fulfill a long-desired wish to play together in this setting finally arose when German record label Mochermusic invited the trio to record a CD. (Release January 2018). The CD is also released in Japan through AMSA records. (December 2017)
